Anyone can play this game. Nadal has won 8 tournaments in a 4 month period (April-August 2008 ), something that Federer has never done.

Has Nadal won 4 major tournaments in 365 days? Federer has. While Nadal's 8 tournaments in a 4 month period was incredible, Federer's 15 losses over 3 years is sort of in another league. I'd bet money that someone would achieve 8 titles in 4 months instead of averaging 5 losses a year for 3 years.

Federer has the weight of the world on his shoulders right now. He is playing for humanity. How many people around the world will commit suicide if he loses. I think this loss will be much worse than his 2008 Wimbledon Final loss.

It wouldn't surprise me after this great performance he loses in straight sets to Novak and plays without any of the inspiration shown today. (Shadse of 2008 Australian Open?) Typical frenchman, a lot of flash but unsustainable.
